Artificial Intelligence is everywhere

To its proponents, bitcoin is the future of money, but it still takes “traditional” money to purchase cryptocurrency, and right now, banks control the conduits.

DATA project aims to resolve the massive hidden threat to the digital marketing and advertising industry; ad fraud, which costs the industry over USD$ 16 billion per year.

The current anti-fraud technologies attempt to detect the fraudulent data, be it fake users or fake devices, only after the fraud has occurred, meaning data has been propagated into the entire sell-and-demand transaction ecosystem. The policing agency IAB provides the black-and-white-list of fraudulent data as a centralized list, however, these lists can become quickly out-of-date in real time, meaning it can be easily manipulated.

The Internet, accessible to each smartphone user, as well as the emergence of such an important technology as the information exchange through instant messages, has turned messengers into one of the most popular and convenient ways of communication. Competition in the global messaging apps market today is higher than ever, and new apps come out almost every day.

Such a large number of instant messengers allows a user to choose the most suitable service for all the requested parameters. Taking into account various world events, for most electronic device users ensuring data transmission security becomes a priority requirement to the used messenger. Read more...

At the end of 2017, signs that Bitcoin was making the jump from a currency used and held only by technology and decentralization enthusiasts to a mainstream asset started to hit the press.
